The price of gas in Serbia will increase by 11 per cent from next year, and electricity by less than 10 per cent, Minister of Mining and Energy Dubravka Đedović announced.
The electricity price increase for the average household will be below 10 per cent, which is less than 300 dinars per monthly bill. Djedovic she also reminded that in the previous two weeks, the price of gas on the global market has increased three times.
“Gas in Serbia is currently among the cheapest for industry and the third most affordable in Europe for households. The state will continue to subsidize the price of electricity, so the price of electricity in Serbia will be among the lowest in Europe,” wrote Đedović and added:
“I remind you that by behaving responsibly and reducing consumption, you will get a discount for bills of up to 30 percent. In the conditions of the world energy crisis, we must adopt measures that will ensure safe and continuous supply”.
